Miss Grand 2024: A contestant wrote a letter accusing the organizers of suppression, withdrew before the semi-finals

On the eve of the Miss Grand International 2024 semi-finals, the contest was once again embroiled in controversy when a contestant directly accused the organizers of behaving in an unprofessional manner, of being oppressive, and of being cruelly coerced. She also announced her withdrawal from the contest.

On the evening of October 20, beauty fans around the world were extremely confused by the news that Miss Grand Ukraine suddenly posted a letter directly accusing the Miss Grand International Organizing Committee of having unprofessional and unqualified actions towards contestants, specifically her. The representative of Ukraine detailed the actions that the Organizing Committee had committed against her, and also affirmed that they were holding more than 50GB of data proving that what she said was true.

Specifically, the long complaint of Miss Grand Ukraine has the following content: "I, Kateryna Bilyk, regretfully have been forced to withdraw from the Miss Grand International contest due to serious damage to my health. For two weeks, I was required to participate in activities from 8am to 11pm or midnight, and some days from 3am to 11pm, despite having a fever of 37.5°C to 38.2°C for the past 11 days.

This condition was noted by a private doctor in Pattaya and the Wyndham Jomtien Pattaya hotel doctor, who also noted dangerously high blood pressure (142/90 and 151/90) and fever. Despite this, I was given an unknown pill by MGI, which caused a potential allergic reaction. Although MGI was contractually responsible for me, it caused serious damage to my health and mental state. They did not call a doctor when I fainted and forced me to continue working with a fever of 38.5°C and blood pressure of 151/90.

In addition, the organizers confiscated my passport. Three days in Cambodia, illegally restricting me from traveling freely. I have collected all the evidence, including 52Gb of videos, photos, receipts, documents, messages and work schedules. In addition, they forced me and others to apply for tourist visas, which is a violation of Thai law.

Furthermore, MGI managers have made threatening calls and text messages to both me and others, violating both my rights and international law. Any attempt to spread false information or damage my reputation will result in immediate legal action and involvement of the Thai police, Interpol. I reserve the right to pursue legal consequences and financial compensation for damages caused."

Miss Grand Ukraine's post immediately received great public attention. Although the information has not been fully verified, many people believe that there must be a problem with the organization for the contestants to speak up, because no one who competes would act like that to accuse the organizers, because it would affect the contest results. The contestants' anger must have been shady, because "there's no smoke without fire".

This is the latest scandal for Miss Grand International after the shocking event in Cambodia. Previously, social media spread images of contestants sitting on plastic chairs while attending a party on the river. Many people said that the lack of professionalism in the organization was the reason why Mr. Nawat was upset.

On the morning of October 7, the Miss Grand International (MGI) homepage announced the cancellation of the hosting role for Miss Grand Cambodia - the copyright holder of the contest. The announcement stated: "They cannot provide services that meet the standards set by the Miss Grand International organization."

The organizers of Miss Grand Cambodia immediately opened a livestream to talk about the incident. This unit said that MGI did not respect them as hosts and had a rude attitude. According to the crew, they had planned the activities but Nawat changed them without notice. Regarding the image of the contestant sitting on a plastic chair, the representative explained that the activity was not in the plan. Initially, they arranged for the contestant to sit on the second floor of a yacht, but due to the rainy weather, they had to move it down. However, when Mr. Nawat arrived, he still requested the tour to take place, making it impossible for the organizers to handle it in time.
